Less than two months on from returning to Australia, convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby is in hospital after seriously injuring herself.
“Hi guys. This is why you haven’t seen me in a while…..” the 39-year-old said in an Instagram caption posted on Thursday.
Alongside the caption were the hashtags #sickbay #brokenleg #brokenankle and #brokenknee.
In the image, Corby can be seen resting in a hospital bed with much of her leg and knee being iced.
As to exactly when or how she injured herself, we still don’t know.
Corby returned to Australia in late May after 12 years in Bali – nine of which were spent in Kerokoban prison – where the former beautician was serving her jail sentence for smuggling 4.2 kilograms of cannabis into Bali.
Despite being found guilty and convicted in 2005, Corby has always maintained her innocence.

She was guilty that's why she served all that time in jail.

ELEANOR HALL: Is it the case that the Indonesian legal system is based on the presumption of guilt?
TIM LINDSAY: No, that is completely false. As a matter of fact it is completely the opposite. The system in Indonesia is the same as the system in Australia, and our Commonwealth system. Article 66 of the Criminal Procedure Code specifically states that the burden of proof to prove guilt in a criminal case lies with the prosecution
"Despite being found guilty" This type of biased rubbish always makes me scream! She was NOT 'found' guilty. In Indonesia's system, the onus is on the Defendant to prove their innocence, NOT on the court to PROVE guilt. She was not found guilty. The court declared her guilty because Schapelle (despite begging for CCTV footage that mysteriously went missing at all three airports her bag went through) couldn't *prove* she was innocent.
i think you are being bit pedantic about wording, i can't see what the difference is between found guilty and declared guilty
